Huge creatures that resemble wingless dragons, gray or tan with mottled red patches
Fire Lizards are huge creatures that resemble wingless dragons. They are gray or tan in coloration, with mottled red patches and spots on their backs, legs, and heads; younger fire lizards are dusted with golden highlights that become dull and disappear as they mature. Though they may be found sharing a lair, fire lizards are dull creatures which sleep most of the time if not hunting. If encountered in their lair, there is a 50% chance each is sleeping (roll for each individual) and will awaken in 2d8 rounds after any commotion begins (or in a single round if attacked). They do like shiny things, and a lair will contain treasure (as indicated above) scattered in haphazard piles.
This creature resembles a wingless red dragon. Its scales are gray and dappled in red and brown along its back. Its underbelly is bright red and its eyes are black with yellow pupils.
Fire lizards are often called "false dragons." Despite their general resemblance to dragons, sages have as yet found no evidence of these creatures being in any way related to them. Fire lizards do not associate with or keep company with dragons. A fire lizard averages 30 feet long but can grow to almost twice that size.
Fire lizards prefer to attack opponents with their claws and bite, though if outnumbered they resort to using their breath weapon.
Giant lizards with tough scaled hide, thought to be an evolutionary dead-end on the dragon family tree
Fire lizards are also known as "false dragons" and are thought to be an evolutionary dead-end on the dragon family tree. These giant lizards have a tough scaled hide very similar to a dragon but lacking the long life, wings, and horns of their fire-breathing cousins. Colouration tends to be a rather neutral grey with patches of a dark brownish red on the dorsal surface, and a lighter red on the ventral surface. Fire lizards darken in colour as they age. Curiously, red dragons avoid confrontation with fire lizards and will not even lair in the same area fire lizards frequent. False dragons are normally slow-moving creatures and spend 50% their time sleeping in their subterranean lairs. When they emerge every two weeks or so to feed, however, they are aggressive foes. In combat a fire lizard will attack with two raking attacks from its front legs followed by a bite attack. It also has a breath weapon it can use at will, a cone shaped gout of flame 10-ft wide at the terminus with a range of 150-ft, causing 2d6 points of damage. A saving throw vs breath weapons is allowed for half damage. Fire lizards have an affinity for shiny objects and their lairs tend be littered with coins and
